9734102 Large software projects produce many documents of many different types that, together, describe the plans for, implementation of, and experience with the program. Ensuring that these documents do not have serious conflicts with each other is a critical task in any real software system, but requires a level of integration among the different types of software documents that is not possible with current development tools. This research project is working to identify the document representations, software tools, and user interface services that are required to integrate program source code and all other software documents into a seamless, interconnected whole. The project is producing a prototype development environment that allows arbitrary multimedia documentation and hyperlinks inside program source files and additional tools for managing and understanding the relationships between software documents. This research is significant because it is breaking down the barriers that currently exist between program source code and the natural language documents that motivate, evaluate, and explain it. The educational component of this CAREER project seeks to attract students from underrepresented groups to the study of computer science through outreach and a summer program curriculum and is also enhancing the department's software curriculum through new graduate course offerings. ***

9734102大型软件项目产生许多不同类型的文档，这些文档一起描述了程序的计划、实现和经验。在任何真实的软件系统中，确保这些文档之间没有严重的冲突是一项关键的任务，但是需要在不同类型的软件文档之间进行一定程度的集成，这在当前的开发工具中是不可能的。该研究项目致力于识别将程序源代码和所有其他软件文档集成为一个无缝的、相互连接的整体所需的文档表示、软件工具和用户界面服务。该项目正在生成一个原型开发环境，该环境允许任意多媒体文档和程序源文件中的超链接，以及用于管理和理解软件文档之间关系的附加工具。这项研究意义重大，因为它打破了目前存在于程序源代码和激励、评估和解释它的自然语言文档之间的障碍。这个职业项目的教育部分旨在通过推广和暑期项目课程吸引代表性不足的群体的学生学习计算机科学，并通过新的研究生课程提供加强部门的软件课程。* * *
